In Las Vegas, there are many worthy alternatives to banal casino games and parties. You may be surprised, but there are a lot of places even for families with children. One of these options is the Shark Reef Aquarium at Mandalay Bay Hotel. Go there to replenish your collection of unforgettable experiences, as well as meet frightening sharks, amazing stingrays, serene turtles, and other marine animals.

The Shark Reef Aquarium is a fantastic place that will delight both adults and children. This is the first and only facility in Nevada that is accredited by the Association of Zoos and Aquariums of North America, which guarantees high-quality conditions for the local underwater inhabitants and excellent care for them. Besides, the Shark Reef Aquarium itself was created not only to entertain guests of the Mandalay Bay Hotel and the city of Las Vegas but also to preserve wildlife, conduct scientific and educational events.

The territory of the Shark Reef Aquarium covers about 9,000 square meters and contains at least 2000 different animals. They say that the local water is very close in composition to the Red Sea. Some visitors can test it empirically by scuba diving to exotic sharks. Although, such desperate daredevils will quickly forget the original purpose of their adventure as they will be totally impressed by its beauty. It is highly unlikely that they will ever be able to swim in the company of more than thirty different sharks. Unfortunately or fortunately, such entertainment is available only for adult guests who can boast of having a diver's certificate.

What can the rest of the aquarium's visitors do? In addition to exploring marine fauna and meditatively observing its life, the Shark Reef Aquarium offers an impressive walk along a glass corridor surrounded by water. Of course, this is not a full-fledged dive, but the feeling is no less exciting. Also, you yourself can feed beautiful stingrays and cute crabs with their favorite treats, watch the fascinating feeding of predatory sharks and sea turtles, and even hold a wedding ceremony.
